Man arrested with knife in shoe at Detroit airport

I am FAR from kidding.

Have you not seen how some members here attack nearly everything I say? Doesn't seem to matter if I am right or not, they just do it. And so? ####### does it matter? At the end of the day, I know I am a successful, upstanding, caring person, and the people who know me IRL know it too.

I have known a LOT of blacks in my time, but never one who seems so quick to throw the "poor me, I'm black, and everyone hates me" flag as you seem wont to do. I wonder what your life would be like if you quit doing that? No way to tell, because I doubt you ever will quit. But I sincerely wish you would, for your own good. You seem like an intelligent, well-spoken person, minus this one teeny, tiny little hang-up.

*sigh*

Forgive me, I had a coupla margaritas tonight, and my fingers are moving WAY faster than my brain. But I do really think you'd be much farther ahead in life if you's lose that chip. You don't know me, I don't know you, we can't affect each other in any way, so that is truly free advice. Yours to disdain or to look into as such.

There's the difference. My words aren't being attacked. It's me.

I don't let others opinion of me slow me down. I make my own path. But it seems like it's wrong to point it out when the game is rigged. If you can't win, you're not trying hard enough, if it's not fair, tough.

I have never said poor me. I've pointed out the poor treatment I've gotten and I call out racism that me and others like me get subjected to.

Here's a thought. In the other thread, you got some woman calling me some terrorist in waiting. There's a large group of people here and IRL that think the same thing. How do you think that affects someone? A person trying to live their life right, and folks day in and out are telling them how much they suck?

I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I'm just not blind to it.

Tell her you are NOT a terrorist, but that you do it to worship the va-jay-jay. Then enjoy the look of utter shock on her face!

Okay, on a serious note...

When is the last time someone told you (IRL) that you suck because you are black? And what was the basis of their comment?

When my wife first arrived and I took her to get her nails done. The Korean lady that did her nails asked my wife straight up did she trust me because I might steal from her, based solely on my skin color. My wife also tells me about the comments she gets when she tells some customers she's married to me. They're like, really? A black guy? Like it's beneath her or something...

LOL, that's precious. Stealing from your own wife, and you prolly make more than her.

I get stuff like that too, except about the age difference. I have also heard ####### like I just married her for her looks, and she just married me for my money.Two valid reasons normal people get married for, but somehow, in our case, it's "less acceptable". Whatever.

I have also heard that I am doing something wrong because I married outside my own country, or that I am doing the USA a disservice by bringing in another alien. I even had a FB "friend" tell me how wrong I was for doing it, and she unfriended me.

And I give all of that about as much attention/concern as it is worth... zilch.

I do, but the consensus is I'm dangerous. That's what burns my britches, dressing properly, speaking proper English, and even being polite and courteous means nothing when all they see is your skin color.

The difference between you and I? Your chose to marry her. It's your right and no one can change that. How do I stop being black?

Repeat after me... "I am white. I am White. I am WHITE!!"

Also...

Be warned though - along with the color change has come some (unproven, but...) shrinkage as well.

I had to read it three times before I realised it wasn't saying a erola cherry.
